Jamal Hill has done an exceptional job with this story of forbidden love. The cinematography is superb and Keke Palmer and Cory Hardrict do an outstanding job. The narrative is very compelling. A great cast and production. Starting with a twist on the "typical" tale of a school girl crush, Brotherly Love takes us to the great streets of Philly with a new but still classic tale. The soundtrack is another great asset to the film and overall I very much enjoyed this film. This film made me think of a classic films Aaron Loves Angela, Cooley High and believe it or not, even Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Macy Gray per usual is always a delight to see as she plays the mother of Jackie (Palmer), Sergio (Eric D. Jill, Jr.) and June. Quincy Brown (also in DOPE) is a great male, love interest. I am looking forward to more films from Jamal Hill and also from Flavor Unit films.
This movie was so good and Quincy played such a good role I hated him in real life. Love this movie. Just shows how you can never trust anyone! We need a sequel and would love to see how their lives played out
Went to see movie in Detroit because my daughters wrote the lead song "No Love", written by Anesha and Antea Birchett. Even though the last name was spelled wrong for Antea (spelled it Birches :-(( I must say the movie is a must see for younger people (and older adults) growing up today facing the inner city struggles of peer pressure, and things that can "knock you off your square". In fact Parents if you want to score big see it with your kids. I am a job developer in the inner city of Detroit working with young adults referred by the Michigan Dept. of Human Services. I'm hoping to be able to show this movie (as required viewing) to our participants in a workshop. I give it a 10 just because of the unexpected twist that I totally didn't see coming.
Loved this movie and I will definitely be going back again a 2nd time. This movie hits home to a lot of us Philadelphians. Me personally born and raised not having these actual situations happen in my life however I know a lot of individuals I grew up with that have experienced a lot of the actions that happened in the movie. I was taken by surprise at the end because I thought I had it all figured out.. Great Job Jamal Hill..
I am looking forward to your next project... Will there be a Brotherly Love 2?

In a movie that wasnt even popular, what is the reason to put reviews saying 'exceptional' things, you wont earn anything from this.
most 10* reviewers have only reviewed this film that nobody knows about haha its so funny...
Just a regular usa gangsters war of neighbourhoods. Nothing really to see here, an average movie. it was barely ok i really cant find anything to write about the movie
